Bon Jovi - Crush
Crush, released in 2000, was Bon Jovi’s first album this decade. It was also the first album by the band that I bought, and indeed the first rock album I bought, sparking alight my love of music. I hold it then, in high regard, but I know …
“Lungs” Album by Florence & The Machine
I am a major music junkie. You name an album and I have probably either listened to it or already know the words to each and every one of the songs by heart. That is how much I love listening to music. For awhile, I have not been finding …
Andrew Jackson Jihad - Knife Man (Album)
Knife Man is a 2011 album release by Andrew Jackson Jihad. The one thing that really stuck out to me about Knife Man after going through a couple listens of the record was that the band really chooses to embrace different sounds throughout the album. Though the traditional and …

Bob Dylan - Shot Of Love (Song)

Demi Lovato - Skyscraper (Song)
I never really pay attention to Demi Lovato. All of a sudden, her new single released and it was everywhere. It also went straight to #1 on itunes. I was so surprised so I did a little research and found out she had eating disorders, cut herself, and went …

CD KISS ALIVE
Alive is what happens when a band, their manager and their record label decide to take a chance on something they believe in. And rock and roll was never the same afterwards!

Nine Inch Nails - Please (Song)
Please is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Fragile. The track starts off with a heavy industrial sound and the synthesizers actually have a pretty interesting sound throughout this section in my opinion. Reznor comes in with the first verse pretty quickly as …
The Beatles - You Like Me Too Much (Song)
You Like Me Too Much is a track by The Beatles which appears on their record Help. The track is written by Harrison and features him on lead vocals. One thing I’m not a huge fan of about early Beatles material is that a lot of the songs all …
Diorama (Album From Silverchair)
Diorama is Silverchair’s fourth album and when released also the most calm album.
After Neon Ballroom’s succes, the power-trio released Diorama.Altough the album still quite slow, some songs like “One Way Mule” and “The Lever” still carry the band’s hard side.When it was released, after listening to it, at first …

Kathleen Procter-Moore
My father used to say that music was his second language and I guess I inherited his DNA.
I so enjoy musicians and I’ve married three. I guess that qualifies me as someone that knows what is hard or easy on the ears, to a degree. Music is always subjective, as …
Arcade Fire - Black Mirror (Song)
Black Mirror is a song by Arcade Fire which appears on their second release, Neon Bible. For a fan who has only heard this band’s first release, Funeral, I will say that the overall sound on Black Mirror is going to strike you as very odd because of how …
Watching You by Rodney Atkins
This song is a great example for all the parents out there. And I like how the lyrics convey a serious issue in a very comical way. A lot of parents don’t believe that the way they act and what they say affects their children. But it really does. …
Jordin Sparks
Jordin Sparks is such an awesome person. Not only is she young, but she is also talented and I think for someone with a nice image as her, she has a nice big voice to boot too. However, the songs inside are quite on average. I think …
The Rolling Stones - The Worst (Song)
The Worst is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Voodoo Lounge. The track opens up with an acoustic guitar part before the vocals come in. To be honest, the vocals don’t sound like Jagger at all and I’m actually not convinced that this is …
Cream - World Of Pain (Song)
World Of Pain is a song by Cream which appears on their record Disraeli Gears. The track opens up with the vocals taking center stage immediately, though the rest of the band can also be heard behind these vocals as well. Though I personally thought this opening first verse …
Whatever you like by T.I.
Whatever you like by T.I. is a song that seems like a fantasy to me. What guy would actually give a girl whatever she likes even if he was rich. There are some but not many. The music video for this song is a little weird because it starts …
Killswitch Engage The End Of Heartache
The End Of Heartache is Killswitch Engage’s third album, second album on Roadrunner Records, and first album to feature vocalist Howard Jones as Jesse Leach’s replacement. The album was released in 2004, and like the last 2 albums was again produced by drummer Adam Dutkiewicz. If you are looking …
Radiohead - Electioneering (Song)
Electioneering is a song by Radiohead which appears on their third record OK Computer. I’m going to say right away that Electioneering truly isn’t like the rest of the songs on OK Computer, or really like many of the songs by Radiohead for that matter. This isn’t to say …

“Move Along” Album by The All American Rejects
“Move Along” by the All American Rejects is just an average album. To be quite honest, I kind of wish that I had not spent the money on this song. My overall opinion of this album is that there are a few good songs on the album but the …
Love, Save the Empty Album by Erin McCarley

Days Of Elijah by Paul Wilbur
I like the sound of trumpet on this song Days of Elijah. It is truly splendid and was really messianic in touch as Paul Wilbur gets back people on the time of Israel’s King and forever will be reining King who is Christ Jesus.
The lyrics talk clearly about the …
The Who Sell Out (Side I)
Overview —“ Side I of The Who Sell Out introduces the first half of this concept record with a group of seven songs which seem to work nicely together and actually pass by quite quickly. After listening to the first two tracks, I was thinking this record was going …

In The Air Tonight (2001): Lil’ Kim ft. Phil Collins
Lil’ Kim ft. Phil Collins
“In The Air Tonight”
Urban Renewal
WEA
This must be Lil’ Kim’s attempt at an epic music video that has some sort of plot to it aka a mini-movie. R. Kelly has done it, Puff Daddy has done it, and Michael Jackson has certainly done it. My guess …

Will Young’s album Let it Go, which was released in UK, is an impressive set of songs that really do show his full singing talents, especially This Is Who I Am, which was featured as an iTunes Exclusive bonus track.

Coal Miner’s Daughter
Sissy Spacek is simply incredible as the first lady of country music, Loretta Lynn, in Coal Miner’s Daughter. Her speech and singing were right on. She does do all the singing here, and she’s so good that not everyone realizes that it’s Spacek singing and not Lynn. …
Gold by Abba
Gold by Abba is a classic and amazingly perfect collection that I don’t ever regret buying. There are close to 20 tracks in this album and I would even label this as my greatest hits compilation. I love Dancing Queen, as usual, Mamma Mia and S.O.S. Please …
